Arsenal agree deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Arsenal have agreed on a deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.

Sky Sports Journalist Guillem Balague has confirmed that the player is all set to undergo his medical with the Gunners now.

ALL DONE! @Aubameyang7 will be #AFC player pending medical. Fixed fee of £53m with £2.5m adds on if major trophies won, pass CL group stage (so pays itself). Wages not even half what Alexis wanted. Not the only deal #AFC working on

Arsenal are set to pay around £53m for the 28-year-old striker. Dortmund will receive £2.5m in add-ons if the player wins major trophies with the Gunners.

Aubameyang wanted to leave the German club since the start of the month and he will be delighted to have found a solution. The player will now look to make an instant impact in the Premier League.

As for Arsenal, the Gunners have lost star player Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United earlier this month and they will be hoping that the 28-year-old can replace the Chilean’s contributions in attack.
